Have you been able to attach to another BOINC project? If you can, that will give your computer something useful to do, if you cannot it would indicate that there is something else wrong that people might be able to help with.

- If you want to connect to the Seti project, go to Your Account.
- Change your password, type it in twice and hit the Change Password button.
Start Boinc Manager if it isn't open yet.
At the top menu bar, you see Projects (not the tab, but the menu bar), press it.
Select Attach to project.
- Type in, or copy & paste: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu
- Press Next.
- Press the radio button before "Use existing account"
- Fill in your email address (top of the page) and the password you just set at the Seti page.
- Press Next.

That should attach you to Seti.

If you suspect a communication problem there is advice in the BOINC-Wiki. But do check the SETI board for current news. As you are running Einstein, BOINC itself seems to be OK.

>> Yes. So far as I know, the einstein@home is running fine.
From what I've seen in wiki, many others are having problems, especially (it appears) with seti.
I admit I'm not the brightest (computer wise) bulb on the Xmas tree and not only that, I'm lazy! :)
A MERRY cHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all.
